Pokken Tournament DX update out now (version 1.3.2)
The previously-announced Pokken Tournament DX update has gone live. If you purchased the game, you can access version 1.3.2.
Nintendo’s patch notes only mention that the patch “contains different adjustments for the Pokemon, including the addition of some brand-new actions” and “adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.” The finer points of the fighters weren’t published officially, but we do have an unofficial translation below.
